November 19, 2016....


    Today is a beautiful fall day. In fact if there weren't fall leaves blowing all over the lawn it would seem like spring as mello as the temperatures are. I have had the house all to myself today as my love has been helping a friend get ready to move into a new place of his own.   I've spent it cleaning and getting ready to go to my work holiday party tonight. I can't believe it's even time for that yet. I haven't bought anybody anything for Christmas yet. I don't even know what to buy for my love.  He likes getting tools but I'm not really sure what tools he still needs. I can't afford a table saw although he would love one. I'll think of something.   J is getting so big and she just wants stuff for her bedroom and maybe clothes or jewelry and makeup. I'm not sure about the makeup she's still so young but for her birthday she gets a phone and I just got her set up on facebook, under my email so I know who is trying to friend her but otherwise I like sending her pics of cute animals. Plus it gives me another way to get in touch with her. She can text me on messenger. Technology today. When I was a kid I had a phone with a cord and although I could reach it into my room my parents could always listen in on the line upstairs which also was attached to the wall.  Ahhh the good old days when you could slam the phone down on someone.
    Today has been lovely having time just to myself. I haven't done much cleaning but I'm sure my love won't care and it does look better than when he left. I think all he cares about is that he doesn't have to do it all. He can come home from work and have dinner to eat and not have to make it or go get it. He can have a clean house without having to do all the work himself. He likes that.   I hope I make him as happy as he makes me.
    I love the holidays starting with my favorite holiday Halloween but I really don't like the stress of having no money for gifts. Maybe someday I'll be debt free and be able to have a lovely Christmas but until then I'm not racking up more debt just for presents. We will make due again this year and hope for a more financially stable year next year. That's coming up soon and always makes me feel like there's hope for a better future.
   I sure miss T. He's living his life in Oregon and I guess he's happy but I haven't heard from him so who knows. Miss his face and his smile and his help with dishes and chores. Hope he's doing good and being happy.
   The rest of us are all just waiting for Thanksgiving. Gobble Gobble good stuff,.
